Sorry, David, our postings crossed!
I do feel the overall feel of your version does remove the image from the "reality" of what I saw this morning, which you, of course, can't know.
Ultimately, I suppose, it's down to personal taste(?).
(edit) & yes, it would be interesting to know others' opinions......
Thanks for your interest & helpful comments.
Cheers,
Roger.

Interesting how people have different takes on things!
I like 'pictorialism' but I also like the gritty, content-led, storytelling approach to these images. Nearly all the images make you wonder about the people pictured and draw you into their world. The time which has elapsed since they were taken makes them more interesting, but I think most of them have more than a 'historical' interest.
I'm a fan of bokeh but clearly bokeh is beside the point here...
Absolutely agree!Interesting how people have different takes on things!

Wonderful insight into life then, so different to now but, paradoxically, still the same.
Inspirational.
Thanks, Smeggy, for the link

Thanks, Greg.
The free, downloadable software is Combine ZP.
Google it, you'll like it!
Take the individual images, changing focus gradually from back to front of the total depth of field required for the subject.
Process as instructions on the software.
There's obviously more to it than that, but give it a go, if I can do it anybody can. It's very clever!!!
Thanks for looking,

Thanks, David, that's exactly the sort of comment I think I am looking for with this area of work.
I'm going to sleep on your advice & my thoughts thereon & try a new version in the morning, which effort I will post for anyone's further comments.
Thanks again,
Roger.

Then go on to full editing.
